Locomotives for Latin America, F & S excitation system XD2T secures the on-board power supply

Last week, the first locomotive of the new SALi (South American Light Loco) series successfully was tested at STADLER´s working site in Valencia. The on-board generators of this locomotive series came from our partner VEM Sachsenwerk. The XD2T device tailored for traction applications from our company ensures their excitation and monitoring. Commissioning was accompanied by one of our engineers. According to information from STADLER, the SALi, which was designed specially for mountain use, ist the first locomotive of an European manufacturer in Bolivia. With this locomotive STADLER has made an important step on the way to the Latin American market. We wish the best success!

Safe power generation and distribution in a dynamic environment

was the topic of our workshop on 12^th February 2019. In a relaxed atmosphere, own experiences, possible solutions and the theory behind asynchronous machine and frequency converter were discussed. Why the transition from grid-parallel to stand-alone grid operation involves a wide variety of challenges could not only be tested and recorded theoretically and simulatively, but also in the test field on a small island grid model. We thank all participants for the numerous contributions and the positive feedback on our jointly workshop.

Kraftwerkstechnisches Kolloquium at Dresden

At the event of “50. Kraftwerkstechnisches Kolloquium” on 23rd and 24^th October 2018 topics of operation, optimization and digital visualization of energy supply facilities were the focus of attention. More than 900 international participants from industry and research attended this year's conference.

In keeping with the challenges of energy infrastructure in the course of the energy transition, F&S provided the central exhibit in the plenary hall. An over fifty-year-old Trabant 600, which former two-stroke burner was replaced by an electric drive as the heart for his second life on the street , symbolized our approach - to generate future-proof solutions.

F&S receives an order for the grid automation of a new pharmaceutical plant in Vienna.

BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM, one of the most research focused enterprises in the European industry and beyond, is investing about € 700 million in a new plant for the production of drugs based on cell culture technologies. The availability and quality of electrical energy supply are the backbone of a production site. The challenging requirements in process-critical procedures such as in the pharmaceutical industry are of a special kind. Both in normal operation on the public network, as well as in the context of island supply, which means automatically decoupled from external energy supply in case of failure, cell cultures and production processes must be stably supplied. We are pleased to announce that F&S, in addition to the locations Ingelheim (since 1999) and Biberach (since 2002), has been assigned with the engineering and supply of the network control technology for the new biopharmaceutical production plant by the Boehringer Ingelheim Regional Center Vienna (RCV). It is an honor and a challenge for F&S to confirm the reputation it has gained in its 20 years of operations at the German locations of Boehringer Ingelheim and now also at the Regional Center Vienna.
